- carlob 12y agoUnfortunately April only has 30 days.
- Svip 12y agoI think the main problem is that we only have 12 months a year.
- cowsandmilk 12y agoPi approximation day 22/7 works for these parts of the world.
- therealwill 12y agoIsn't month first better? It is easier to sort MMDD than DDMM.
- witty_username 12y agoThat doesn't matter quite as much, mainly the inconsistent month/day/year system is quite confusing. Note that the ISO time standard does use YYYY-MM-DD.
- middleamerica 12y agoISO is big endian, conventional rest-of-world is little endian, and the USA is mid endian.
- seba_dos1 12y agoEspecially when it's MMDDYYYY ;]
